DividendIn order to strengthen the reserves of the Company and with a view to ensure sufficient liquidity to take advantage of the growth potential, your directors consider it prudent not to recommend a dividend.

Review of OperationsDuring the year under review, sales of polyester filament yarn increased to Rs. 6824.81 lacs, compared to Rs. 6556.70 lacs achieved in the previous year; however the sale of polyester chips was lower at Rs. 8130.91 lacs as compared to Rs. 9604.39 lacs for the previous year. The gross turnover was higher during the year also on account of trading activities by leveraging on the Company's in-house expertise in the import and procurement of raw materials for the polyester industry.

Despite increase in business volume, the overall contribution and margins remained under pressure due to fluctuation in raw material prices coupled with competitive pressures on the business activity.

Increase in the cost of major inputs, consequent to the rise in international crude oil prices, affected the performance of the Company, as the increase could not be entirely passed on to the customers.

During the year under review, your Company discharged its obligation towards payment of interest on soft loan availed from the promoter.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT & MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

of SICA by BIFR vide its Order dated 18th December, 2009. As on 31st March, 2010 the net worth of the Company further increased to Rs. 3169.63 lacs.

Overview of EconomyThe country's economy grew by 7.4% in 2009-10, compared to 6.7% expansion in the previous fiscal, when it came under the ripple effect of the global financial melt down. Growth is projected to recover to 8-9% in the next two years. The recovery of Indian GDP could be even faster than what is projected. But the rising interest rates, rupee appreciation and continued low growth in high-income nations could cause hurdles to the recovery. India's recovery could also be impacted by volatility in capital inflows and high inflation.

Industry ScenarioIn polyester chips, the domestic supply has increased and outstrips demand largely. This has put considerable pressure on sale and margins. The raw material prices are expected to go up and likely to put further pressure on margins. The Company hopes to counter this effect by improved product mix. In respect of spun yarn activity, the operating margins are likely to remain under pressure due to lower sales realisation.

Opportunities, Threats and ChallengesLow per capita consumption of polyester in India is still way behind the world average. This provides an opportunity for future growth in the Indian Polyester Industry. The Company perceives threat from imports and consequent pressure on domestic prices, apart from the increase in prices of raw materials and other inputs due to any spurt in crude oil prices.

Your Company is gearing up to meet the challenges through continuous improvement in quality, reduction in costs, better marketing arrangements for higher value added products.

Business OutlookThe recent budget proposals have withdrawn the stimulus package by roll back of excise duty earlier reduced for the overall growth of the manufacturing sector, putting further pressure on the Company.

Your Company is pursuing cost cutting measures and focusing on increased productivity, better product mix, introduction of new products and a thrust in sales and better price realisation. However, the performance of the Company in the coming months, would be largely dependent on the overall industry scenario.

Your Company continues to leverage its in-house expertise in the area of procurement and import of raw materials for polyester industry and expand that line of business activities as well.

Internal ControlYour Company has an adequate and effective internal control system to ensure that assets and interests of the Company are safeguarded and reliability of accounting data and accuracy are ensured with proper checks and balances.
